Junior: Transferring to UTA from a community college, I was nervous to meet new students and about the load of the coursework. After my first week of attending classes, I made friends that I still keep in contact with today! My overall experience has impacted my daily life and attitude. UTA has contributed to the woman I am today and I am grateful for every experience! What I enjoyed most about UTA was the professor-to-student ratio. Having personal relationships inside and outside of the classroom is beneficial for both parties. What I would like to see change is the availability of tutors or SI sessions. I had some sessions that fell through due to the cancellation of staffing. Otherwise, UTA has been great for me!... Read 4,504 reviews

Junior: Texas Woman's University is an amazing school. I am a nursing student at the Houston campus. I have learned so much in my short time attending. I have only spent a semester at TWU and I absolutely love it. The professors are very knowledgeable and they are really good at teaching and making lectures engaging. The professors have been nice, understanding, and very professional. Although the content they teach can be difficult, they deliver it in a way that is easy to understand. They really let you know their expectations from the beginning and it sets you up for success in their classes. Even after our first exam, some of the students that struggled with the first exam had one on one meetings with our professors to see what areas the student needed help with. Which I think is very helpful! The student life center at TWU Houston is absolutely my favorite. They really do care about the students. They set out snacks every day for students to come by and get incase we get hungry.... Read 2,252 reviews

Alum: I spent two semesters at Tarrant County College Northwest Campus to get my Associates of Science. My instructors were almost all excellent, very understanding, and helpful, with the exception of a single online course I took (it was essentially a weekly assigned reading and essay with minimal teacher interaction). There are abundant resources on campus for students, with tutoring and dedicated help centers separated by subject. The extracurriculars were also fun. I got involved in the school's math club, music club, and philosophy club (Pi club, NW Music Association, and Plato's cave). It being a community college, the clubs were relatively small (5-10 people), which made it feel much more personal. The campus also has a gym and pool that are free to use, which was VERY awesome. The cafeteria is a bit lacking, being a Subway and some vending machines, so definitely bring a lunch. I met lots of awesome people there, and will be going back this fall to pursue their music program!... Read 3,268 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, my community college was and still is an amazing experience! All of the professors that I've had throughout my years of being enrolled in the institution were always very professional and helpful when it came to students needs while taking their course. Every professor went above and beyond to make sure I grasped the different subjects that were discussed if I ever at one point lacked any understanding. Not only are the professors very reassuring but all the rest of the staff such as financial aid advisors, counselors and security as well. Currently, I'm enrolled in the downtown location and although, all classes are now online when I did actually take my classes on campus, I felt very secure and safe 24/7/. I would definitely recommend this community college to any one especially those who are interested in a career in healthcare or culinary arts.... Read 618 reviews

Sophomore: Collin College has been a great stepping stone for me. I have never felt so myself and confident because of how diverse Collin’s environment is. I enjoy going to school and feel that every professor and staff member there wants you to succeed. I really like how inclusive they make the school activities and how it’s free for everyone. I would like to see an even stricter security outside of the school. We do have security inside, but there is not a scanning component at the entrances so anyone is free to enter. Unfortunately, I wonder if that could come back to haunt us. The student council is really good at listening and understanding what is best for us students, so I do have hope that an open conversation could change the security system for the better. Overall, that doesn’t stop me from attending. I go to a technical campus and my professor has compared the work between her university students and us community college ones. She confirmed our work is more advanced. I learned so much!... Read 2,165 reviews

Junior: My experience at DBU has been truly wonderful. I honestly believe that no other Christian private university stresses to the extent DBU does of integrating Christ into their education, activities, career preparation, etc. All the faculty and staff are extremely intentional, loving, and caring whether in class or at work, their number one priority is to help the students in any way they can. The price of DBU is deceiving because there are so many scholarships to help bring the cost down dramatically. My favorite thing about DBU is the community and relationships I have made here. I have made my lifelong best friends here. All students live on campus and there are close to no parties on campus. DBU is only twenty minutes from downtown Dallas providing fun off-campus activities as well as job opportunities. I highly recommend DBU to everyone!... Read 1,079 reviews

So far, my professors have been helpful, kind, and excellent teachers. Every member of the accommodations staff is available to assist you at all times.

Alum: Richland is a great school! They have a wide variety of options for classes and scheduling, the classrooms are typically well kept, and the campus is usually very quiet and relaxing. Professors are engaging and really care about their students. There are a lot of opportunities to be involved in different groups and activities. A majority of the class sizes are kept small and it was very easy to get to know other students, as well as the teacher. The only downside I ever found was that parking can definitely be limited, especially depending on time of day - but that would be the same for any school.... Read 709 reviews

Sophomore: My experience with Dallas College Mountain View has been very extraordinary, the building is very organized, and many students enjoy the atmosphere. From my point of view, having classes in person after a year of doing online, was great. What I really liked was how peaceful students would do their work in the hallways or in the library. I enjoyed how the staff in the bookstore were helpful, the counseling office also addressed questions from students who had to work or do part-time semesters. As for my classes, my Spanish professor explained the assignments thoroughly, along with interacting with the class, and having a good amount of classwork. By this means, I was able to do all of my coursework easily without backtracking on other class work. My online classes were also understanding and organized, I really love how calm Mountain View is at the moment. I wish there was more lounge space for students to work, sometimes students would sit on the floor finishing up assignments.... Read 608 reviews

They have some of the best teachers I’ve met so far, they’re very easy going, nice, and actually care about teaching other college students. Despite me having to change my major twice, it’s still a fun experience meeting new people and getting to know the community around me plus, the staff helps out students with their studies and their needs such as scholarships, transfer to other universities, preparing classes for next semester and so on....

Graduate Student: Enrolled in Parker University's online Clinical Neuroscience Master's program, my experience has been illuminating and flexible. The curriculum delves deep into the nervous system's complexities, enhancing patient care insight. Engaging virtual lectures and discussions foster connections with peers. However, the remote format occasionally leads to isolation, lacking hands-on practical experiences vital for clinical neuroscience. Despite this, the program equips me with invaluable knowledge for my future endeavors.... Read 147 reviews

Freshman: Truly, this school excels in producing bright and ready students to take on the real world world. By prepping them with the every day necessary tools, these vessels leave feeling confident in their skills and abilities to overcome any obstacle thrown by their career of choice. Countless dedication and care, provided by the instructors, reassures the success rate of these future leaders of Texas and the World itself! However, given that this school sounds as if it were a dream come true, the staff is quick and relentless to let the new students know that this collegiate journey is no easy task and for the feint of heart. As troublesome this may sound in terms of the possibility of achievements towards the educational goal, there are an abundance of resources and activities to aid the students. Given the facilities neat and pristine structure, you will not find any trouble seeing hundreds to of students with bright faces and eager smiling that shows the hunger and willingness to learn....

I am absorbing and taking all my learning and training seriously, so that I can further my education as well start a career. It was a struggle in the beginning trying to get in since there was so much red tape since I am pretty much on my own. Aside from my grandmother, who is my biggest blessing. Only with her help and by Gods grace am I here today. I will graduate God wiling in March of 2023. I would like to further my education and profession y then interning with Tesla.

Alum: loved it. It is a fun experience to learn new things you didn't know before, also they have plenty of programs to offer so you won't have to be confused or discouraged about picking what you wanna do because there are plenty of options to choose from. They also are able to work around your schedule so they are very flexible when it comes to your work life or even your parenting life if you have children or if you take care of someone they are able to fit the classes into your schedule. Plus you would only attend class 2 days out of the week, so that's a plus.... Read 3 reviews
